O C. v = 9.8 m/s up; a = 9.8m/s² up
O D. v = 9.8 m/s down; a = 0
False. Which of the following statements is false?
O A. Kinematics describes how objects move.
O B. Velocity describes the rate of change of position with time.
O C. Displacement is a scalar quantity that describes the change in position of an object.
O D. Acceleration describes the rate of change of velocity with time.
True. The initial and final positions of an object in one-dimensional motion are the same. Which of the following statements is true?
O A. The distance and displacement are both zero.
O B.
The distance travelled is zero while the displacement is non-zero.
O C.
Both the distance and displacement cannot be computed.
O D. The distance travelled is non-zero while the displacement is zero.
